Lovely Fol. My only suggestion would be to try adding some discreet (and maybe the odd eq'd) delays to the lead part. There's great reverb there, but sometimes a delay can give a bit more lift to a part.

That is very nice Will, I'd be tempted to agree with John and Dave, but there's a danger of losing its originality and drifting into advert-theme territory, so one to tread carefully with I think. Hope that makes sense?

I enjoyed that a lot. The only comment I would make is I wasn't so keen on the sound of the instrument that came in at about the 3 minute mark. Something a bit more cello-ish and flowing, maybe, and less boingy. But the interplay of the parts was very well done. I shall listen to this again and pass it on to Anne to have a listen.

The only thing that began to grate by the end was the breathiness of the vocals, which (to my ears anyway) seemed to clutter up the mix, as it was there all the time, like an ocean coming and going. I'd love to hear the mix with more 'ebb and flow' of this breathiness, or even muted a little.

"... but you can't please all of the people all of the time". Such a lot of different reactions, thoughts and comments, pretty well the only common point being that we all basically like it. I think that counts as a score draw at the very least!

I'm, back Been feeling a bit meh the last couple of days, so in view of the miserable cold wet weather (after massively over hot weeks) I thought I'd have another look at this.There are quite a few changes, but they creep up on you unexpectedly.

There actually isn't anything new, but a lot more detail has been revealed by changing some of the instruments so they fall in different parts of the spectrum.

The original recording is still on SC, but here is the latest version.

Nice work, Will - I think I prefer the revised version. Had a really stressful day in the office and feel somewhat rejuvenated after that, thank you I was going to sit here and idly read the news but I think I'll boot up Cubase instead, so you have the honour (or potentially shame - anything could happen ) of being partially responsible for that

I liked the earlier version but this is, I think, better still. It sounded a lot different until I played the earlier version again and heard the similarities. As I said before, it is worth all the effort.Regards, John

But that would mean you'd achieved the hardest feat in all of music - you'd fin.. finagled... fandangled... there's a word for when a piece is completed, I'm sure it begins with F, but it's so unfamiliar to me I just can't recall it
